This from an article in From The Irish Independent,
http://www.independent.ie/2001/11/ieu11a.shtml on the first primate synthetic
gene:

> However, Dr David King, co-ordinator of the Campaign Against Human Genetic
> Engineering, said: "This is yet another step on the slippery slope to
> designer babies. People should wake up to the fact that genetic engineering
> of people could be just around the corner.
>
> "We need a global ban on human genetic engineering, and research directed
> towards it should not be funded."

        "We never stop investigating. We are never satisfied that we know
        enough to get by. Every question we answer leads on to another
       question. This has become the greatest survival trick of our species."
